What accessories are available for rotary evaporators?

A rotary evaporator is a widely used tool in laboratories for separating solvents from mixtures by means of rotation and evaporation. The device mainly consists of the following key components, which can also be considered as its add-ons:

Evaporation Vial:This is the main container of the rotary evaporator and is used to contain the solution to be evaporated.

Heating Bath:Located below the evaporation bottle, it is used to heat the solution to evaporate it.

Condensation Tube:Usually attached above the evaporation flask,it is used to condense the vapor after evaporation.

Collection Bottle:Used to collect the condensed liquid after evaporation, which is a mixture of solvent and residue.

Drive motor:Used to drive the evaporation bottle to rotate, so that the solution in the bottle uniform evaporation.

Speed Controller:Used to control the speed of rotation of the evaporation bottle.

Temperature Controller:Used to regulate the temperature of the heating bath.

Vacuum Pump:Used to create a low-pressure environment to accelerate the evaporation process of the solution.

Vacuum Gauge:to indicate the vacuum level in the system.

Cooling Water Recirculation System:Used to maintain cooling of the condenser tubes for efficient condensation of vapors.

Sample Holder:Used to support and hold the evaporation bottle.

Safety devices:such as an overheat protector and an emergency stop button to ensure safe operation.

These accessories work together to make the rotary evaporator efficient for solvent evaporation and substance concentration. Depending on the laboratory requirements and applications, rotary evaporators can have different configurations and accessories.
